    8x60 blc slim model rubber eye shields question

    Hello all,

    I have these two 8x60 blc "slim" binos in my collection, both were made in 1941. I think they should have the same rubber eye shields. However, as you can see, the rubber eye shields are different. Why? I would appreciate any of your answers!

    Best, Yun

          Very nice. I assume they are an early and late type.
          Later is made for ease of manufacture.
          Beh also changed the design of their eye cups
          So why not Zeiss ?

            The eyecups on the right with the thin metal ring round the outside are genuine WW2 issue. The ones on the left without the metal ring are from the post-war period. They probably came from the Zeiss RWDF periscope.

                I would second marineglas' suggestion.
